Once upon a time, there was a funny little fighting game on PlayStation called Ehrgeiz.
EhrgeizΒ was noteworthy for a number of reasons: its high-resolution graphics; its beautifully slick framerate; its inclusion ofΒ Final Fantasy VIIΒ characters in its roster… and the bizarre inclusion of a full-on dungeon-delving action RPG mode.
If you have fond memories of that particular aspect ofΒ Ehrgeiz, then you’re most certainly going to want to check outΒ Crimson Tears, since it’s by the same developer (DreamFactory) and expands that concept into its own distinct experience. And, given the apparently enduring popularity of games with roguelike elements, it’s a game that remains impressively relevant even today.
